The AWEA Recently announced that in November of 2015, the United States reached the 70 gigawatts production milestone for the first time in its history. This is great news for an industry that had plateaued over the last couple years with the uncertainty created by the government and clean energy tax credits. The 50 and 60 gigawatt levels were achieved back in 2012. 2013 proved to be slower year for new wind energy projects, but that has changed in 2014, with over 8.3 billion dollars invested.

Better Times Ahead

The momentum for 2015 and beyond is increasing for many reasons. The first is the extensions of the Production Tax Credit and alternate Investment Tax Credit by Congress, which gives stability and predictability to the industry through at least 2019. These credits make new wind energy projects more affordable, encouraging investment.

Another big reason is that wind energy prices have reached all time lows. In order to be competitive in the energy market, wind energy has to make financial sense for the organizations buying and investing in energy. With wind energy prices the lowest they have ever been, they are very competitive economically on the market.

More Progress to be Made

While 70 gigawatts of energy production is a great milestone for a budding industry, there is still a long way to go before wind energy is a viable alternative for U.S. residents. At this point, energy produced by wind makes up only 5% of total U.S. energy consumption – meaning there is still great long-term potential for increases in wind energy production.

In a surprising bit of news this week, the United States Congress has extended the Renewable Energy Tax Credit through 2021. Officially called the Investment Tax Credit (ITC), these credits were set to expire at the end of 2016, at which point the 30% tax credit would drop down to 10%. This looming deadline had been creating a lot of uncertainty in the solar and wind industries as companies rushed to complete as many projects as possible before the deadline. This extension adds some much needed stability to a growing industry.

Recently the Scottish Government announced its latest plans to harness the great power potential of the wind around the United Kingdom. Scotland plans to build the world’s largest floating wind farm off the coast of Peterhead, which will harness an impressive 135 Gigawatt hours of electricity per year. This work will be completed by Norway’s Statoil, and will make it the largest floating wind farm on earth! Why are floating wind farms gaining popularity? Because of their cheaper installation and maintenance costs, while still harnessing immense amounts of wind power.
